Erickson's outdoor adventures

the long version

"On my many trips to Alaska over the past twenty-five years, I looked for books about this great state. I found none that gave me the kind of experience of Alaska I sought. So I wrote just the sort of book that gives the reader that broader Alaska experience. One can read about the adventures available in Alaska, the humor of the people, the inventiveness and color of the individuals who gravitate to the state, and the huge, dramatic backdrop of the mountains and glaciers and ocean that define the state as well"--Back cover.
